English to Italian translations [PRO]
Linguistics | | English term or phrase: phrase final continuation rises | With respect to the intonation, some important principles have to be taken into account.
Each sentence contains at least one or more important or dominant words.
In a lot of languages, an important word is marked by means of an intonation accent realized as a pitch movement on the lexically accented syllable of the important word.
Intonation is not only used to emphasize words but also to
mark the sentence type (e.g. declarative versus interrogative, WH-questions versus yes/no-questions) and to mark important syntactic boundaries (e.g. with phrase final continuation rises). |
